What's wrong with my code?

I've just completed this code challenge however it says that my work is wrong?

I've copied my code into a work space and running it there works fine?

Can someone please help?

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

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

you don't need return or puts.
