clc
tot=0;
for i=0:5
    n=num2str(i);
    for j=i+1:i+4
       n=[n num2str(j)]; 
    end
    p=perms(n);
    for j=1:size(p)
       n=str2num(p(j,:));
       if mod(n,55)==0
          tot=tot+1;
          disp(n)
       end
    end
    disp(" ")
end
disp(tot)

reports there are 20 such numbers and groups them by the set of digits used:

       43120
       42130
       34210
       31240
       24310
       21340
       13420
       12430
 
 
       36245
       34265
       26345
       24365
 
       74635
       73645
       64735
       63745
 
       68475
       67485
       48675
       47685
       
There are 8 in the group where the lowest digit is zero and four each where the lowest digit is 2, 3 and 4.
