Answer:

The answer is About a nickel.

Explanation:

The most established measurable information I can find doesn't have data sooner than 1913, however in 1913 the normal portion of bread was appeared at 5.6 cents.  This was as announced in Historical Statistics of the United States: Colonial Times to 1970 (volume 2), as distributed by the U.S. Branch of Commerce.  Or on the other hand, as another precedent, the Denver post detailed that in 1912 Hurlbut's- - which was then a market in Denver- - promoted "six portions of 'natively constructed' bread for 25 pennies," which would work out as a unique cost under 5 pennies for each portion for the store's pastry kitchen bread.   (Source:  "A Titanic Difference in the Cost of Living 100 Years Later, The Denver Post, March 16, 2012.)

About a nickel.

The oldest statistical data I can locate doesn't have information earlier than 1913, but in 1913 the average loaf of bread was shown at 5.6 cents.  This was as reported in <em>Historical Statistics of the United States: Colonial Times to 1970 (volume 2),</em> as published by the <span>U.S. Department of Commerce.</span>

 Or, as another example, the Denver post reported that in 1912 Hurlbut's--which was then a grocery store in Denver--advertised "<span>six loaves of 'homemade' bread for 25 cents," which would work out as a special price less than 5 cents per loaf for the store's bakery bread.   (Source:  "A Titanic Difference in the Cost of Living 100 Years Later, <em>The Denver Post, </em>March 16, 2012.)</span>

According to al bakri in what ways do customs in kumbi saleh differ from customs in arab lands
Blizzard [7]

According to Al Bakri, Kumbi Saleh (Ghana) consisted of two towns. In one town lived the arabs, it held twelve mosquets and numerous wells of sweet water. In this town lived learned men, as well as jurists and religious men. Six miles away laid the city where the king lived (Al Ghaba), in a palace surrounded by a defensive wall.

Only the king and his heir could wear sewn clothes and other accessories, signs of wealth, while the common people that followed his religion could only dress with simplicity, shaving their beards and hair. The king's way of living would exude power, wealth and magnificence, and his followers could only show humility by kneeling and sprinting their heads with dust. While the arabs would greet him by clapping.

As I understand it, the customs in arab lands were much more equal, there were not big social differences between its inhabitants. In the other part of the city, this was not the case, there would be big social differences between the king and its followers, that the author doesn't name bi its etniciti, nationality or religion. They were just the followers of the king.
