To find the cost of the new flooring, we need to find the area of the fitness center and then multiply it by the cost per square foot.

Area = length x width = 237 ft x 59 ft = 13,983 sq ft

Cost = area x cost per square foot = 13,983 sq ft x $19.00/sq ft = $265,677

Therefore, the best choice is (A) $265,677. To find the cost of the new flooring, we need to calculate the area of the fitness center and multiply it by the cost per square foot.

Area = length × width 
Area = 237 ft × 59 ft 
Area = 13,983 sq ft

Cost = area × cost per square foot 
Cost = 13,983 sq ft × $19.00/sq ft 
Cost = $265,677

Therefore, the cost for the new flooring is $265,677. Option A is the correct answer.
