Formulas not adding as numbers

Hello,

I am using the formula =IF(Status2 = [HIDE: Statuses]1, "15") to add a set percentage to a completed task when the box is checked. It works, but then when I go to SUM those numbers, they simply combine the numbers (as though they're text) rather than adding them together (see %Complete1 and %Complete4). How do I make the SUM formula recognize these as numbers?

Thanks!
