It's an approximation - I learned 27 ft but only as a rule of thumb. If you want the definitive answer it's part of the ICAO ISA which you can find in Doc 7488 Manual of the ICAO Standard Atmosphere (extended to 80 kilometres). It gives an equation that will give you an exact value for any level you want.
