Let's represent the ratio of pants to shorts as 4x:3x, where x is a common factor for both quantities.
Since the total number of pants and shorts available is 70, we can set up the equation:
4x + 3x = 70
Combining like terms:
7x = 70
Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 10
So, the number of shorts is 3x = 3 * 10 = <<3*10=30>>30. Answer: \boxed{30}.
