That would be 711.

The easy way to figgure that out is to look at it as a binary number:

RWX RWX RWX  Three sets of the following:

Read = 4
Write = 2
Execute = 1

Just add the permissions up  
Read and Execute access would be 4+1=5
Read and Write access would be 4+2=6
Read access only would be 4
etc.
