About 95%.
Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.
In terms of weight, iron makes up approximately 5% of the earths crust, the fourth most abundant element in the crust. However, remember Earth's Core is nearly all Iron.
Aluminum is the Earths most abundant metal and its located in the Earths outer crust.One of the properties of crust is that it consists of a variety of sedimentary,metamorphic and igneous rocks.
it is the lithosphere
Oxygen is the most abundant element in Earth's crust, making up about 47% of its mass. Silicon is the second most abundant element, comprising approximately 28% of the crust's mass.

Just to say: This question refers to rock groups. Not what type of rock.Igneous rocks make up most of the earth's crust.
In terms of weight, iron makes up approximately 5% of the earths crust, the fourth most abundant element in the crust. However, remember Earth's Core is nearly all Iron.

The principle element found at the Earth's core is iron.
Silicates are the mineral group that make up the highest percentage of Earth's crust, accounting for about 90% of the crust by volume. They are composed of silicon and oxygen, the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust.
Igneous rock comprises the majority of Earth's crust.

With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
