**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.**
