It varies, there is no set answer. It can be from 10% to 90%. Around 10% of women have 90% glandular tissue (milk producing lobules and the structure supporting them) and the rest fat; around 40% of women have 50% to 75% glands and the rest fat; and of the rest around 40% have more then 50% fat, and 10% almost all fat. Fat percentage is sometimes related to body fat, but not always. Some women have breasts which get larger with weight gain and smaller with weight loss, other women not so much. This is probably due to to hormonal fluctuations caused by diet; lifestyle - including taking into the body substances which affect hormones, like smoking or medications; and age.
