Answer:

The number of fitness classes is 100 and the cost is $600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of fitness class is x.

For attending Universe fitness the cost for the whole year will be [tex]250 + 3.50x[/tex]

Silver gym will charge [tex]400 + 2x[/tex] in total.

Since, these costs are same

[tex]400 + 2x = 250 + 3.50x\\150 = 1.5x\\x = 100[/tex]

Hence, the desired number is 100.

For both gym the cost is same to attend 100 classes.

Hence we can calculate the cost from either of them.

The cost is [tex]400 + 2 \times100 = 600[/tex]
