This is a strangely worded question.
The answer would depend on several things.
- What the eight quotations / allusions are
(do they only appear once each, or are they repeated in several books)
- What measure is to be used to count the percentage
(verses, words, letters)
The New Testament in the King James version consists of 7,957 verses which consist of 180,381 words with a total of 920,564 letters.
You can now calculate the percentage from the information which you have, but didn't give us - the exact quotations / allusions.

How many times is Old Testament mentioned in the New Testament?
Though direct references to Old Testament passages would have an exact number (I'm afraid I don't know it exactly), it was common for some phrases to be easily recognized among well studied Jewish people, so just because it is not expressly quoted to be from Isaiah, etc, doesn't mean the audience at the time would not have understood it to be an allusion to a well known Old Testament passage. Christians believe that the entire Old Testament is pointing to the work of Christ in the New Testament, and the whole of the New Testament after Christ's sacrifice to atone for sin on the cross, reveals the pictures contained in the Old Testament's rituals and sacrifices. Because of this powerful interrelation, it would be hard to limit this answer to an exact number.Answer:An index in the Jewish New Testament catalogs 695 separate quotations from the books of the Old Testament in the New (Jewish New Testament Publications, Jerusalem, 1989). There are many other passages where the Old Testament is referred to , as in cases where an Old Testament figure is mentioned, but no specific scripture is quoted.

What is an allusion to story the debtor in the bible?
I think your query is in reference to the story in Luke 18.24 to 35, where the master forgave his servant a large debt of 10,000 talents and he immediately went out and threatened his fellow servant who owed him only 100 pence. And the allusion to this story, when we see the master as God and the forgiven servant as ourself, is - we better forgive our friend or neighbour or enemy, simply because his debt to us is far far less than our debt to God for which he has frankly forgiven us.

Does the Old Testament mention the potter's house?
Potters were important in biblical times, and there are several references to potters and to potter's houses. Zechariah chapter 11 speaks of the thirty pieces of silver paid and then cast unto the potter in the house of the Lord.The author of Matthew's Gospel was a master at using the Old Testament. In 27:5 he says that Judas threw down the silver in the Temple and went and hanged himself. The priests took the blood money and bought the potter's field, thus suggesting an allusion in the Old Testament. The author of Acts knew nothing of Matthew's story, so provided quite a different account.

That term is not specific to Shakespeare: any reference to an outside source within a work is called an allusion. It's kind of like the modern term "Easter Egg" only allusions are more up front.
