To clarify, are you talking about on one stand or on both strands?

If it is on one strand then it is imposable to tell. there could be up to 83%. (probably not but it is possible)

if you are talking 17% on both of the strands then it is implied that it is 17% of guanine

This means that there is 66% left. Because on both strands there must be one adenine for every thiamine that means that there is 33% adenine.

It would have 31 percent adenine and 19 percent guanine, since thymine and cytocine bond exclusively with adenine and guanine respectively. (A-T and C-G)

What is the percent of cytosine in a DNA?

Double Stranded DNA is paired, with Adenine paired with Thymine Cytosine paired with Guanine Then the percent Cytosine in one strand will be exactly the percent Guanine in the other strand. And between the two strands, the percent Cytosine will be equal to the percent Guanine. For a random distribution, the percent should be about 25% for each nucleotide, or 50% for the GC pair, and 50% for the AT pair. However, DNA actually varies considerably from organism to organism. Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), has a GC content as high as 72% Plasmodium falciparum has a GC content as low as 20%. See Wikipedia link on GC Content.
