Formulating the Translation Equation for Fuel Price Trends

A logistics coordinator is following the seven-step problem-solving strategy to determine the percent decrease in gas prices after they fell from $3.71 per gallon in June to $3.64 per gallon in July. Having already determined the amount of decrease is $0.07, the coordinator must now 'Translate' this into an algebraic equation. Based on the standard seven-step procedure, what is the specific algebraic equation that represents this step, using pp to represent the unknown percent decrease?
