Decile
A tenth portion or band of a set of data. A decile is a proportion of a set of data that has been ranked and divided into ten groups (or bands), where each group contains an equal number of data items.

For example, consider the (ordered) data set of 20 letters: "A A A B B C D E F G G H I J K L L M N N". The first decile would contain "A A", the second decile "A B", the third "B C" and so on.

The subsidies accruing to the top *decile* from fuel subsidies were 5 times those accruing to the bottom *decile*. The top 40% got 60% of the subsidy.
