8–15 Rep Hypertrophy Sets

For muscle growth, most training should use a moderate rep range—roughly 6 to 15 reps per set, with a broad effective window extending from about 5 to 30 reps. The key is to choose a load that makes the last reps hard and bring sets close to muscular failure, since effort matters more than any single rep number for stimulating hypertrophy.

The quick answer there is anywhere between like five to 30 reps per set. That's going to show across the literature, pretty much equal hypertrophy gains.
