    DNA of that particular species contains 23 % of C

    Explanation:

    Adenosine (A) is complimentary with Thymine (T), that means that there is 27% of A + 27 % of T = 54%

    To calculate the percentage of Cytosine (C) we need to know that C and Guanine (G) are also complementary. That means that the remaining 46% is half C and half G.

    Therefore, the percentage of C is 23%.
