This percentage to 15(%) by 2015?

Please look at this sentence.

"The nation's goal is to reduce this percentage to 15 by 2015."

Is this sentence right? I think it should be written as "15 per cent by 2015".
Are both okay?

Thank you for your answer in advance.

Both are awkward. A native speaker would prefer
eg "The nation's goal is to reduce this to 15 per cent by 2015."
