let
x = the average ticket cost in Japan
y = the average ticket cost in Switzerland
it would cost 79.99 to buy 3 tickets in Japan and 2 tickets Switzerland:
3x + 2y = 79.99
3 tickets in Switzerland and 2 tickets in Japan would cost 75.06:
3y + 2x = 75.06
by solving the system of equations:
3x + 2y = 79.99
3y + 2x = 75.06
we find:
x = $17.97
y = $13.04
