No. A natural number is a whole number, that is, no digits after the decimal point. Calculate the square root of 12 on a calculator, and you will see that it is not a whole number.
If you want to find x percent of a number y then you need to calculate y*(x/100). It makes no difference whether y is a whole number or not.
The same way you calculate averages with whole numbers: Add up all the fractions and divide by the number of fractions there are.
It is not the square of a whole number; but it is the square of a real number. If you calculate the square root of 23, you will get a real number. That real number times itself will equal 23. But the square root will not be a simple whole number. It will have an endless decimal fraction.
