    Its 13 percent

    Explanation:

    Since thymine equals adenine, adenine equals 37. So you add 37 to 37 which is 74. then subtract it from one hunnid, which is 26. Then divide that by 2 since cytosine is equal to guanine. so you'll have cytocine is 13 percent and guanine is 13 percent as well.
