How do you use the printf method correctly here?

I can't figure out how to setup the printf method the right way.

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName= console.readLine("Kayley");
String lastName= console.readLine("Shaver");
console.printf("First name%s");

Based on what I'm seeing, it looks like this is what you are trying to do

console.printf("First Name: %s", firstName);
