In double-stranded DNA, the percentage of adenine equals the percentage of thymine, and the percentage of cytosine equals the percentage of guanine. Therefore, if 35% of the bases in a region of the mouse genome are cytosine, then 35% of the bases in that region are guanine, and 100% - 35% - 35% = 30% of the bases in that region are adenine.
