Let The total number of people who voted be = T.
The number of people under of age of 30 who voted be = X.
Now given that 50% of people under the age of 30 were not females, which means 50% of the people under the age of 30 who voted were females.
Thus number of females under age 30 = 50/100 * X
= 0.5 X
Now we also know that the relation between total number and the number of females under 30 years who voted is = 15% of T
= 0.15 T
These two numbers are equal
0.15T = 0.5 X
X/T = 0.15/0.5
X/T = 3/10
X/T = 30/100
therefore % of people who voted and were under 30 years of age = 30% of T
The number of people under of age of 30 who voted be = X.
Now given that 50% of people under the age of 30 were not females, which means 50% of the people under the age of 30 who voted were females.

Make a matrix..
..............M ......F........total
<30......t/2_.....15...t
So t/2+15=t......t/2=15....t=30%
Also if 50% are not females, the other 50% will be females and this is 15%of Total
So total will be 15*2=30%
STEP by STEP ( say there are 100 voters)
1) 15% of the voter turnout were under the age of 30 and were females.... so 15 voters are BOTH <30 and F.
2)50% of the voter turnout under the age of 30 were not females,..say Total voters <30 be x, so x/2 are males and x/2 are females
3) but we know that BOTH <30 and F =15=x/2...x=30
so 30% of total
