Answer:

T-shirts: 200

Shorts: 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, set up an equation using two variables to represent the number of t-shirts and shorts sold.  Let x = t-shirts sold. Let y = shorts sold.  2x + 4y = 600.    We know that x will be 4 times greater than y, so we can plug in some guesses that seem reasonable and use the equation to test our theories.  My first guess was 50 shorts, which by luck was the correct answer.  These problems can be tricky, but setting up an equation can prove to be a great help.
