If n is the number of students going, the cost per student per day is $350/n.
If the bus is full, the cost per student is 350/60 = $5.83.
The function is undefined for n>60.
Therefore
f(n) = $350/n, 1<n<59
f(n=60) = $5.83
f(n>60) = undefined

Thank you very much. I wrote my question incorrectly. It should be the cost of renting buses (plural). Would that be something like 350 times n/60?
