Short answer: Well, it depends.

Explanation:

In a DNA strand, the cytosine may only pair with the guanine. So that means, the percentage of cytosine will be equal to the percentage of guanine.

On the other hand, the other two nitrogenous bases in the DNA, thymine and adenine, can also only pair with one other. That also means, that their percentages will also be equal.
