Ruby on Rails & CSS background-image: url();

I am working on a project using Ruby on Rails. Within all of my html.erb pages, I have no problem embedding images: src="/assets/Pricing-17.png." No issues there. However, whenever I try to access an image from a css or scss file, I cannot retrieve the image! The path is app/assets/images/Pricing-17.png. I cannot find a path (I've tried the public folder and the assets folder!) that works using background-image: url(); or ruby's image_tag option. Any suggestions?
