Air is about 30% oxygen 70% nitrogen.

If you are in an oxygen tent or some other place with pure O2, breathing will be easier, but things will also burn easier.

How do you think ingenhousz showed that it was dephlogisticated and not fixed air?

Ingenhousz demonstrated that oxygen (dephlogisticated air) was produced during photosynthesis by showing that plants release this gas in the presence of light. This was different from fixed air (carbon dioxide) because plants were observed to only release oxygen in the light, suggesting a direct relationship between the presence of light and the production of oxygen.
