Let me state that most of the math problems I never understand. The reason why might have to do with sloppy math on my part or their (usually mine). But this problem doesn't make sense.
Let's start with how to get the material. Input forbes richest sports teams 2011 in the search field. You will come across 16 Jul, 2012 article of Forbes. Manchester United headed the leaderboard at $2.23 billion. But the combined worth of the Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees is $3.7 billion, $1.47 more than Manchester United. The question stated that Manchester United is worth more than those two teams, but this is false. The only way to make that truth would be for Manchester United to be worth more that $3.7 billion.
