Correct Answer: 691000
Solution : For R, The percentage of wooden bats = 45% $\therefore$ The number of wooden bats = 0.45 × 550000 = 247500 The ratio of Brand A to Brand B for wooden bats = 21 : 4 $\therefore$ The number of Brand A wooden bats = $\frac{21}{25}$ × 247500 = 207900 For S, The percentage of wooden bats = 30% $\therefore$ The number of wooden bats = 0.30 × 550000 = 165000 The ratio of Brand A to Brand B for wooden bats = 8 : 7 $\therefore$ The number of Brand A wooden bats = $\frac{8}{15}$ × 165000 = 88000 For T, The percentage of wooden bats = 55% $\therefore$ The number of wooden bats = 0.55 × 550000 = 302500 The ratio of Brand A to Brand B for wooden bats = 6 : 19 $\therefore$ The number of Brand A wooden bats = $\frac{6}{25}$ × 302500 = 72600 For U, The percentage of wooden bats = 25% $\therefore$ The number of wooden bats = 0.25×550000 = 137500 The ratio of Brand A to Brand B for wooden bats = 41 : 14 $\therefore$ The number of Brand A wooden bats = $\frac{41}{55}$ × 137500 = 102500 For V, The percentage of wooden bats = 40% $\therefore$ The number of wooden bats = 0.40 × 550000 = 220000 The ratio of Brand A to Brand B for wooden bats = 7: 15 $\therefore$ The number of Brand A wooden bats = $\frac{7}{22}$ × 220000 = 70000 For W, The percentage of wooden bats = 60% $\therefore$ The number of wooden bats = 0.60 × 550000 = 330000 The ratio of Brand A to Brand B for wooden bats = 5 : 6 $\therefore$ The number of Brand A wooden bats = $\frac{5}{11}$ × 330000 = 150000 $\therefore$ The total number of wooden bats of Brand A produced by all six companies = 207900 + 88000 + 72600 + 102500 + 70000 + 150000 = 691000 Hence, the correct answer is 691000.
