well i will just tell you the numbers okay
red = 341
blue = 535
black = 632
white = 292
well im goin to tell you how and i hope you get it we will add all the t-shirts they sold togather it will be 185
to get the red ones that we should be we will do this
35/185 * 1800 = 340.54 so 341
and so on with the other colors :)

these will all be proportions
200 / 1800 = a / b, where a is the number out of 200 sold, and b is the number expected to be sold out of 1800
rearranging this, a / b = 1 / 9, or b = 9a
so 9 times as many of each should be ordered as were sold from the 200
9(35) = 315 red shirts
9(55) = 495 blue shirts
9(65) = 585 black shirts
9(30) = 270 white shirts
the difference between white and black should be 9(65 - 30) = 9(35) = 315 (which is indeed 585 - 270)
200 / 1800 = a / b, where a is the number out of 200 sold, and b is the number expected to be sold out of 1800
