Answer:

helped Mali stay very wealthy

Step-by-step explanation:

The trade-in gold helped Mali stay very wealthy. The main item they would import was salt which they would use it for many things. Since salt was abundant in the North of Mali but scarce in the South, they would have to import it. Salt was mainly used to preserve foods, like meat, but also corpses, etc.
