If you adjust for inflation, neither of you are correct, but your mom is almost right!. It's about $20,000 in today's money!.

If, however, you don't, you are closer, The cost was under $1000, but typically over $300!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

thank u, i think no one knows or cares about that today, and what was the price for young military officers who were forcefully put in concentration camps in 1945!? my mother told me they had no toilets, and MAKE POO in thesame room they slept together with the stinky corps of those who were death and decaying!. I think we should check the both prices!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Male or Female!?

Young or Old!?

Field hand or house servant!?

1701 or 1799!?

In what became the United States!? or Brazil!? or Jamaica!?

There are way too many variable to give you a meaningful response!.

If you were more specific you would get a more accurate answer!.

PS: there were no American dollars until the 1780s so what currency are we using in 1701!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
