When I play Euro Truck Simulator, I get around 15 FPS on medium settings but when I check my CPU and GPU it is only at 25-50% and my GPU is set to its max (1.3 GHz). Why is my CPU at 25-50% when the game is only 15 FPS and how do I increase the FPS?

Specs:

AMD A10-5745M Quad-core (2.1 GHz with 2.9 GHz max. 21x multiplier)

AMD Radeon HD 8610G (1.3 GHz max)

HP Windows 8. 8GB RAM

Look at the CPU charts again, see how each core is used.
25% CPU usage may mean one core is doing its best and 3 cores are idle because the game doesn't know how to use them. If that's the case, you need a CPU upgrade.

also, are your video drivers up to date?

There is so much truth in your words but if this is true , he dont need a new cpu but those who made the game need to
make it utilize all 4 cores .

All my cores are on 25% and yes, my video drivers are up to date

He could try standing in front of the developer's building with a large sign. OK, maybe not in January :)

Anyway, my first thought was wrong. If all cores are used at 25% each, then the game is multithreaded and the bottleneck is not the CPU. Weird...

Maybe , it is just single threaded , but the load is transferred from one core to another . i had such a game .

So, CPU upgrade, even if we're not 100% sure it would help? What do you think?

Is there any way I could do this without hardware modifications?

most likely, given this is a mobile chipset, you may need to lower graphics settings to medium
