Answer 1

First, we need to find the total number of parts in the ratio (4 + 3 = 7 parts).

Next, we can find the value of each part by dividing the total number of items by the total number of parts (70 / 7 = 10).

Finally, we can find the number of shorts by multiplying the value of each part by the ratio for shorts (3 * 10 = <<3*10=30>>30).

So there are 30 shorts available for sale. Answer: \boxed{30}.
