let
s = the cost of one ticket in Switzerland
j = the cost of one ticket in Japan
it would cost $77.61 to buy 3 tickets in Japan plus 2 tickets in Switzerland
3j + 2s = 77.61
3 tickets in Switzerland plus 2 tickets in Japan would cost 73.64
2j + 3s = 73.64
by solving the system of equations
3j + 2s = 77.61
2j + 3s = 73.64
we find
j = $17.11
