Rate of strength gain depends on the mix.

I suggest you contact you local concrete suppliers, they should have strength gain data for any number of mixes.
 
with normal strength concrete, moist cured, using various types of cement it ranges from about 50% to 78%. With the addition of fly ash or other admixtures, or different curing conditions these numbers will change.
