SASS interpolation error

i'm experiencing an error in SASS where this code

Line 14: @mixin width-class($width){
Line 15:     .#{$width}{
Line 16:         width: $width + "%";
Line 17:     }
Line 18: }

is causing this error

error modules/_layout.scss (Line 15: Invalid CSS after ".": expected class name, was "1")

Can anyone help me with fixing this?

I think your problem here is simply that CSS class names can't start with a number.

This Stack Overflow question has a great answer on what is and isn't valid for CSS class selectors.
