About 80 per minute should work. You should get a professional to show you how.

You are correct; 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
How do you allow the chest ot recoil completely after each chest compression?
Easy. When you lift your hands up at the end of a chest compression, you can feel when your hands are very nearly not pressing down. Then you start another compression. You are doing it right if you are sort of bouncing up and down on the patient's chest, sort of like performing CPR on a large rubber ball. Around 40 compressions per minute or even faster is good for the patient, and minimizes your own fatigue.
