75 percent

Most but incomplete

Seventy-five percent is three-quarters of something, or 75 out of every 100.

It represents a solid majority without being overwhelming: About 75 percent of the class passed the exam.

In casual speech, it often signals "most but not all": I'm 75 percent sure she's coming.
