R help - Sep 2009 - percent data being treated as categorical

I have the following data exported as a .txt file on Windows. Everything is
working fine, except that the the data in the 10th column is treated as a
factor.

Date Week Time Completed Work_Delta Mean_Delta Balance Total Total_Delta
Work Index Open_Bugs Bug_Delta Bug_Delta2
8/17/2009 4 11.8% 64 64 16 611 675 675 9.5% 0.81 333 31 -31
8/30/2009 6 17.6% 104 40 20 801 905 230 11.5% 0.65 269 32 -32
9/6/2009 7 20.6% 136 32 32 815 951 46 14.3% 0.69 265 4 -4
9/13/2009 8 23.5% 168 32 32 789 957 6 17.6% 0.75 240 25 -25
9/20/2009 9 26.5% 215 47 47 750 965 8 22.3% 0.84 219 21 -21

How can i correct this so i can plot it?
