To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that Desiree wants to order 200 shirts that cost $5 and she has $350 in her savings.
2. Keeping this on mind, the total cost of the shirts is:

Total cost=(200)(5) \\ Totalcost=1000 dollars
3. Then, she must raise:

x=1000-350 \\ x=650 dollars
Therefore, the answer is:
650 dollars
