Hey jb,
Like Obelix, I am sure you are aware that percentages are often relative. Yet, it is clear that you are interested in the topic, so I believe you will welcome any help with this.
I have found this article that discusses Romance Languages such as Catalan, Galician, Asturian, Romanian, French, Italian, Spanish,Portuguese, Aragonese, and other less known language and dialects.
The article lists the number of speakers per country (the list is long and very specific),so it is just a matter of calculation to figure out the percentage (approximate of course) you are talking about.

You haven’t received a response because no one really knows. Clearly, Latin-based languages dominate the Western Hemisphere — even in the US where Spanish has become a force to be reckoned with, and Canada, which has immense sectors where French is the primary tongue.
Otherwise, Latin-based languages are confined to the original extent of the Roman Empire and to European extension into Africa.
