Remember that A pairs with T, and that G pairs with T, therefore, if on one strand there is an A, then on the other strand there will be a T. So....there are 500 adenine on one strand, there must be 500 on the other strand.

*G pairs with C!!! but the rest of the answer is correct. Sorry for the confusion.
