Since cytosine bonds with guanine, that means that they will each make up 19%, for a total of 38%. That means that there is 62% left for adenine and thymine, or uracil, each containing 31%. After replication, each compound percentage from the original DNA strand get halved, making the new percentage of adenine be 15.5%. I hoped this helped and I hope I SHOWED MY WORK!
