I just cannot get this!!

I am returning the value of c into the sentence. Why wont this accept that I am returning the value of C in the sentence. I am so confused!

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

end

Don't use puts. The method needs to return the string not display it. Also, in the string replace c with a%b.
