If we think 40 people out of 100 went to USA, and 15 % of below 30 age group out people went abroad. So, Total of 30 below people went to USA is 15% of 40.

If the total number is x.

Then a number of those who went to The USA is 40% of x.
This divided by the no of those who are below 30 years of age i.e. 15% of x.
40/15 = 8/5.

5*8=40.

3*5=15 where we choose 5? May I know.

Find the GCF of 40 and 15:
The GCF of 40 and 15 is 5.

Divide both parts of the ratio by the GCF (5):
40÷5 = 8
15÷5 = 3

So, the simplified ratio is 8:3.

No, it's is below 30.
it's,
50 -30 =20.
Then it's 40:20.
That's 2:1.

Then how are they getting 15? Please tell me.

Both the pie charts are different. The colours in them don't show a relation between the country and age profile.

Below 30 is mentioned in the UK then why it's considered while talking about the USA?
