Answer:

28 shorts, and 279 t-shirts.

Explanation:

Dots is selling T-shirts for $2 a piece and has sold 279 of them that is $558.

279 shirts x 2 (dollars)= $558.

------------

We need to see how many shorts were sold, so we are going to take the money we know didn't come from shorts and subtract it from their total sales.

670-558= 112

$112 is left, divide 112 by 4 to see how many shorts were sold.

112/4= 28 shorts.

28 shorts and 279 t-shirts.
