Between 1/5 and 1/4 of the oxygen inhaled binds to hemoglobin in the blood, but despite that the amount of oxygen that remains in the body is actual 0. Oxygen enters as oxygen gas and leaves the body as carbon dioxide (mostly). Unless one is building up more tissue (as in a child growing) the movement of oxygen into the body is offset by an equal amount leaving the body. Similarly the net gain of water is also zero.
a lot :P

How much oxygen percentage in inhaled air by human?

How much oxygen do you inhale or exhale?

On average, a resting adult inhales about 6 to 10 liters of air per minute, which contains roughly 21% oxygen. This means that approximately 1.2 to 2.1 liters of oxygen are inhaled each minute. During exhalation, the body typically expels around 16% oxygen, meaning that the amount of oxygen exhaled is significantly less than what is inhaled, as the body utilizes some of it for metabolic processes.

What is the differences between inhaled air and exhaled air?

Inhaled air contains a greater volume of oxygen than carbon dioxide. Exhaled air is the opposite, since after the exchange of gases in the lungs the carbon dioxide in the blood is transferred into the lungs. Exhaled air contains a greater volume of carbon dioxide than oxygen. Also, there is more water vapour in exhaled air than inhaled air.
