If the DNA macromolecule contains 20% G (guanine), then by Watson-Crick complementarity it must contain 20% C (cytosine). Together this equals 40%, so the percent that is A (adenine) and T (thymine) together is 60%. By Watson-Crick complementarity, then, the percent A in the molecule is half of 60: 30%.
