Explanation

Let MP be the marked price. 0.85 * MP = 680. MP = 680 / 0.85 = 800.

AI explanation

The selling price of Rs. 680 represents the marked price after a 15 percent discount is applied, meaning it equals 85 percent of the marked price. We set up the equation 0.85 * Marked Price = 680. Solving this gives Marked Price = 680 / 0.85, which results in a marked price of Rs. 800.
