The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.

Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n 

so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5 
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction 

The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends) 

for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8 
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277... 
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.

The market equilibrium point for a product is reached when 12000 units are produced and sold at $27 per unit. The manufacturer w
mamaluj [8]
If the equilibrium is such that only 12000 units are sold for $27, then the total earnings from the given scenario is $324,000. The supply equation would then be,
        supply: 324000 = 6p   ; p = 324000/6 = 54000
        demand: 324000 = 69p ; p = 324000/69 = 4695.65 ≈ 4696
