To find out what percent 27.5 is of 64, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100

In this case, the "Part" is 27.5 and the "Whole" is 64.

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{27.5}{64} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{27.5}{64} \approx 0.4296875
\]

Now, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

\[
0.4296875 \times 100 \approx 42.96875
\]

Rounding to the nearest thousandth, we get:

\[
