Your goal is 60% or less.
I have a humidity monitor, anything above 84 routinely trips the alarm.
Second point on the ceiling fans: if you run four at low you will consume 57.6 KwH of electricity. This is a 80% increase in your vampire electricity load. It is simply a waste of money. Use that money to run your ac an extra 23.5 hours in a month.
How do I know this? I have a electricity monitor which checks the draw 10,000 times a second. It has been helpful to discuss or decide the benefits of electricity usage, as well as identify problems.

I had my AC set on 81, with the ceiling fans (3), on low for six months at minimal expense. To each his own.
