96!

____

It was actually 98 according to my history book!

:3

beware History books. They simplify. They even occasionally exaggerate, just to get their point across. I have consulted several French sources, and the best figures I can come up with are:

Total Population 26,000,000

!st Estate (Clergy) 120.000

2nd Estate (Nobility) 400,000

3rd Estate 25,480,000

Which is nearer to your 98%. BUT the figure of 26,000,000 population is not exact or in fact exactly known; estimates range from 28,000,000 down to 24,000,000.

Pick your figure!

What was the relationship between the percentage of the population in each estate and the percentage of land owned by that estate?

The relationship between the percentage of the population in each estate and the percentage of land owned by that estate was often starkly unequal, particularly in pre-revolutionary France. The First Estate (clergy) and the Second Estate (nobility) comprised a small percentage of the population but owned a disproportionate amount of land, while the Third Estate (commoners) represented the vast majority of the population yet had limited land ownership. This disparity contributed to social tensions and eventual calls for reform, as the wealthy minority held significant resources and privileges compared to the impoverished majority.
