 Seems confusing.

 x = 7

 "print x"
 #=>print x
 print x
 #=>7
 print 'x'
 #=>x
 print "x"
 #=>x
 print '#{x}'
 #=>#{x}
 print "#{x}"
 #=>7

 Simple quotes means literal.
 With double quotes Ruby make some more work than simple quotes, it
evaluate whatever code inside #{} giving a result, also transform this
kind of things:

 \b \c \n \s #backspaces, reverses, newline, etc.

 Well hope that this will help you to understand the difference.
