How did traders benefit from passing through the Kingdom of Ghana?

Because of Ghana's large supply of salt, which was very valuable at the time, they were able to trade it for gold which lead the empire to be rich and powerful. Also at the time almost all trade routes passed through Ghana and they charged taxes to the traders crossing their lands, which also got them a lot of money. Hope this helped!
