Compression ratio really depends on the content, and since you gave no
indication of content type, it is impossible to give the ratio of
compression achieved.

For example, if I told you that you can expect 30-40% compression on
average, but you did not tell me your content is all zip files (highly
uncompressible), my number is quite useless due to your misinformation.
