Answer: A and T occur in similar proportions, and G and C occur in similar proportions.
Why: In double-stranded DNA A pairs with T and G pairs with C (Chargaff's rules), so the number (and percent) of A equals T and the number of G equals C. For example, if A = 30% then T = 30% and the remaining 40% will be split equally as G = 20% and C = 20%.
