Pupils at a school swap shop trade items directly for other items, without using money. The table shows what some items were swapped for this term.
| Item | Swapped for |
|---|---|
| Football | 3 books |
| Board game | 2 footballs |
| Jigsaw | 4 books |
Using the table, explain why it is harder for pupils to compare the value of the board game and the jigsaw than it would be if every item had a price in pounds.
