Usually the docs explain it better than I do, which is why I prefer
references. But short answer is, if you'll look in the chart on the
page given above, it states :

%s 	String (converts any python object using str()).

So each % tells the string what to expect while interlacing that which
is given at the end. of the string after the final %
