A whole circle is made up of 360 degrees
Find total of the saleries = T
T+=+s%5B1%5D+%2B+s%5B2%5D+%2B+s%5B3%5D
The slices of the pie will be:
%28s%5B1%5D%2FT%29%2A360degrees
%28s%5B2%5D%2FT%29%2A360degrees
%28s%5B3%5D%2FT%29%2A360degrees
The sum of these 3 slices should add up to 360 degrees,
if not, recalculate
