Let x be the number of "green" tickets.

Then the number of "blue" tickets is (7420-x).


The total money equation is, therefore,


    13.50x + 9*(7420-x) = 79830    dollars.


From the equation, express x and calculate


    x =  = 2900.


ANSWER.  2900 "green" tickets and the rest, (7420-2900) = 4520 "blue" tickets.


CHECK.   13.50*2900 + 9*4520 = 79830 dollars.   ! Precisely correct !

Solved.
