Learn English – I’d like to ask how much the class is. And I’d like to know if I can say like these

word-usage

I'm thinking of taking a class to practice English. It is not for free and the cost is in my interest. As I'm just a student, I don't enough money to take a class that demands me high cost. So, I'm going to call the academy and ask like this:

  1. I'd like to ask how much it is that I take the class.

  2. I'd like to ask how much the class is.

  3. I'd like to ask how much money the class takes me.

How much is X?

Your version 2 uses the typical phrase to inquire about the cost of something.

Version 3 doesn't make sense because it's never the class that takes money (neither real -> it's the school, nor figuratively speaking -> an abstract 'it' takes the money)

Version 1 could be used but is rather cumbersome. I would advise against it.
