To answer the question above, multiply the number of pilates classes Janet took last year with $8. Since she took 20 classes, this amounted to $160. Her total gym cost for last year was the $350 annual payment plus the $160 from pilate classes. These totalled to $510. $160 is approximately 31.4% of $510. Thus, the answer is 31.4%.
