To find the total receipts, we need to multiply the price of each type of ticket by the number of tickets sold and then add those products together. 
For floor seats: $14.75 x 100 = $1,475.00 
For balcony seats: $11.60 x 1,000 = $11,600.00 
Total receipts: $1,475.00 + $11,600.00 = $13,075.00 
Therefore, the best choice is B.
