Less than 10 %.
The proof is in 90 % of the questions asked on Q and A.

We use 100% of it. Look at it this way: the brain takes up a hugely disproportionate amount of our energy in relation to its size. If we used only 10% of it, evolution would take care of that problem pretty quickly, by either A)shrinking our brain until it was only 10% of its current size or B)making us start using more of it. Of course, we would never have evolved to have such huge brains in relation to how much we use in the first place!

100%, the 10% is a weird myth.
