Possible by using stat command. Its called statistics command which helps to show you the details of files or directories. And also it will show you the values of permission as 755 as required.
Assume if you have test.txt file and test1 directory with 755 permission,
# stat test.txt
File: `test.txt'
Size: 14 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: 802h/2050d Inode: 422047 Links: 1
Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
