Javascript doesn't do algebra internally. You have to solve the equation for that.

You should write a function that takes prize and slices as parameters, and returns the degrees - once you solve the equation.

// prize = slices - 1 - Math.floor(degrees / (360 / slices));

function getDegrees (prize, slices) {
  return -(prize - slices + 1) * (360 / slices);
}

console.log(getDegrees(3,8));
