Let the cost of adults ticket be x

And, cost of students tickets be y

And, z be total cost of admission

Then, given data can be expressed as

z = 3x + 34y

Now, cost of adult ticket = $16

Cost of student ticket = $9

Now, putting values, we get

z = 3(16) + 34(9)

= 48 + 306

= $354

Thus, total cost of admission is $354
