![**Question:**
What will it cost to tile a rectangular floor measuring 289 feet by 41 feet if the tile costs $14 per square foot?
**Options:**
A. $344
B. $165,886
C. $9,240
D. $11,849
---
**Analysis:**
To solve this problem, calculate the total area of the floor and then multiply by the cost per square foot.
1. **Calculate Area:**
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 289 \, \text{feet} \times 41 \, \text{feet} = 11,849 \, \text{square feet}
\]
2. **Calculate Cost:**
\[
\text{Cost} = \text{Area} \times \text{Cost per square foot} = 11,849 \, \text{square feet} \times \$14/\text{square foot} = \$165,886
\]
Thus, the correct answer is **B. $165,886.**](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/b8a8da77-9f04-4511-b9d9-b7e746f1af1d/eac40739-d16e-4d54-a258-b83e43e51907/dkzmucf_processed.jpeg)
