Ubuntu's file system is organised according to the filesystem hierarchy standard and therefore there, generally speaking, is no equivalent to c:\program files.
The location of package files installed through apt can be viewed with
dpkg -L, e.g.
dpkg -L leafpad

On the Linux file system, there really is no one place that everything is installed to. Libraries (like a dll) are shared system wide in /lib, binary applications are in /bin and /usr/bin, etc. The binaries to those would be in /usr/bin/
