tga vs jpeg memory usage

I have just one question.

If you have 2048 tga (35megs in size) and 2048 jpeg(5 megs in size) textures, do they take same amount of memory? Or does jpeg version take less memory? If it does, could you tell me in % how much that would be? is it verry little, like 1,2 % or more like 20% or?

I have some big textures in my scene and am wondering if it's better to use jpeg instead of tga.

tnx.
