Why do I get this error in my console?

I have followed step by step what Guil has done in the video but when I add the @extend %centered; to the primary-content, the following error appears in the console:
error scss/layout/_containers.scss (Line 11: ".primary-content" failed to @extend "%cen tered".
The selector "%centered" was not found.
Use "@extend %centered !optional" if the extend should be able to fail.

Please help. Thanks!

That error suggests that sass can not see your %centered placeholder. Check to make sure it is named correctly, there are no typos and that any files you need to include have been included.
