Jaya bought a hair dryer for Rs 5664 including 18% GST find the price of the hair dryer before GST was added

To find the price of the hair dryer before GST was added, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Price before GST} = \frac{\text{Price including GST}}{1 + \frac{\text{GST rate}}{100}}
\]

Here:
- Price including GST = Rs 5664
- GST rate = 18%

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Price before GST} = \frac{5664}{1 + \frac{18}{100}} = \frac{5664}{1.18}
\]

Now, let's calculate this:

\[
\text{Price before GST} \approx \frac{5664}{1.18} \approx 4800 \text{ Rs}
\]

So, the price of the hair dryer before GST was added is approximately **Rs 4800**.
