    Typical is a strange word.

    I assign the core 1/3 of the composite weight. Equal faces: Glass fiber on each face is 1/6 of the composite weight, resin 1/6 o fthe composite weight.

    Thickness depends on the loading you need.

    Then again ...

    On a current project the core is 100% and there are no faces.
