def mod (a, b) return a%b = c puts "The remainder of a divided by b is #{c}"

I cannot successfully answer this question in ruby basics . Using interpolation to return "The value of a divide by b is c" ...where 'a' and 'b' are variables, and 'c' is the result of a%b.

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

Its a bit confusing. You need to use string interpolation for a, b and c or a%b. 

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