To determine the percentage of all Americans who are younger than 65 years old, we look at the age groups given in the pie chart:

  • Age 0 to 14 years: 18%
  • Age 15 to 64 years: 65%
  • Age 65 and older: 17%

To find the total percentage of people younger than 65 years old, we add the percentages of the two relevant age groups:

  • Percentage of people aged 0 to 14 years: 18%
  • Percentage of people aged 15 to 64 years: 65%

Adding these together:

18% + 65% = 83%

Therefore, the percentage of all Americans who are younger than 65 years old is 83%.
