The bearing from O to A is the measure of the angle between the North and The arrow of A

Since the North is perpendicular to the East, then

The angle between N and E is 90 degrees

Then subtract 75 degrees from 90 degrees to find the angle between the North and the arrow of A


\begin{gathered} B=90^(\circ)-75^(\circ) \\ B=015^(\circ) \end{gathered}

The bearing from O to A is 015 degrees

Note that we measure the bearing from North to the position clockwise
