Hello friends,
I would like to report formally interquartile range in a text.
For example, 20 (12-30).
Moreover, I want to include the percentage symbol (%).
I would write it like that:
20 (interquartile range 12-30)% or 20%(interquartile range 12-30%)
Do you agree? Which of the above sentences is better?
I should write the entire term “interquartile range” because the reader might do not know the abbreviation (IQR).
Thank you in advance.

I would use 20%(interquartile range 12-30%) because it is very clear.
Use of IQR is very common, but depends on audience.
