Not a dr. But pretty sure it depends on how much you drink.

Feces and urine. I don’t know what percentage applies to each.

100% If it were less, you’d be retaining water, which happens

Don’t forget that a significant portion of feces is water content. I don’t know what the correct % is for urine
