Can someone please review my syntax

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I feel like I maybe reading the question wrong and would like some clarity in regard what they are asking.

method.rb 
def mod(a, b)
  return “The remainder of #{a} % #{b} = #{c}"
end

You need to use the mod operator inside #{}. Also, make sure you are returning the exact string that is asked for:

def mod(a, b)
  return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a % b}."
end
