This number will vary by the parameters being used and the one doing the counting, but it would be fair to say that at least 10% of Old Testament direct quotes, paraphrases, allusions and references can be found in the New Testament.
Many fail to realize that the writers of the New Covenant depended upon the authority of the Old Covenant as God the Word, who became Jesus is the author of each. Christ Himself, referenced the Old directly and alluded to many Scriptures.
It is said by many that Isaiah is the most often quoted Old Testament book - sometimes being called 'the little Bible.'
