If events A and B are independent, and the probability that event A occurs is 83%, what must be true?

Maybe I am missing something here, but if A and B are independent, then

P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

So, I guess it must be true that P(A and B) = 0.83 x P(B)

c The probability that event A occurs, given that event B occurs, is 83%.
