Answer:

Cytosine: 10%

Adenine: 40%

Thymine: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Cytosine and Guanine are complementary and Adenine and Thymine are complementary.

Cytosine would be 10%

What's left is 80%, which would be divided by two because adenine and thymine have the same percents.

Adenine: 40%

Thymine: 40%
