Finding proportions....... kindly accept my apology in advance as i am not good in mathematics and this post might be trivial for some of the forum members. Consider I have $100 and I want to distribute among three poor people named: A, B, and C. These people has poverty index 1, 3, 4 respectively. (The scale of poverty index is from 1 to 10 where 1 means extreme poor and 10 means poor). Now i want to distribute 100 dollars in such way that person A (extreme poor guy) got significant portion of the money followed by B and then C. How can i come up with generic way of addressing this issue so that amount divide proportionally according to poverty index? Waiting for your positive and prompt reply.

I doubt there is one right answer to this question. One possibility would be to distribute the money proportionally to $11-s$ where $s$ is the person's poverty score. Then the money would be distributed proportionally $10:8:7$ with the poorest person getting the most (40 dollars), and the other two getting 32 and 28 dollars respectively.
