Well, the volume of a regular aluminum soda can is 375 cm^3 [1]. A modern can is about 15 grams of aluminum.[2] Just a really quick plugging it into Wolfram Alpha, the volume of 15 grams of aluminum is about 5.6 cm^3. [3]
So, that's about 1.5% aluminum by volume. So a soda can is about 98.5% air by volume.
