75% of the number is 27.75. Hence, option A is correct.

Let's denote the number as x. The given information can be expressed as an equation:


\[55\% \, \text{of} \, x - 25\% \, \text{of} \, x = 11.10\]

Translate the percentages into decimals:


\[0.55x - 0.25x = 11.10\]

Combine like terms:

0.3x = 11.10

Now, solve for x:


\[x = (11.10)/(0.3)\]


\[x \approx 37\]

Now that we know x, we can find 75% of that number:


\[75\% \, \text{of} \, x = 0.75 * 37\]


\[75\% \, \text{of} \, x = 27.75\]

Therefore, 75% of the number is 27.75. Hence, option A is correct.
