Calculating the density of DNAs that differ in G:C content

The buoyant density of DNA is proportional to its (G + C) content. (G:C base pairs have more atoms per volume than A:T base pairs.) Calculate the density (p) of avian tubercle bacillus DNA from the data presented in Table 10.1 and the equation p = 1.660 + 0.098 (GC), where GC is the mole fraction of (G + C) in DNA.
