Detailed Explanation

In DNA, the base pairs are adenine (A) with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) with guanine (G). Since the complementary base pairs have equal percentages, thymine & adenine both have 18% each, the remaining combined content of cytosine (C) and guanine (G) would also be 64% (100-18-18).
