There will be 8 adenine bases.

Thymine always pairs with adenine in DNA, so if there are 8 thymine bases that means there are also 8 adenine bases.

We don’t know how many total bases there will be, and because cytosine does not pair with thymine we don’t know how many cytosine bases there will be.
