document.write( "P(B | A) is equal to  P(A and B) / P(A), by the definition of conditional probability.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, you are given  P(A) = 0.89  and  P(A and B) / P(A) = 0.34.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, to find  P(A and B),  you need simply multiply 0.34 by 0.89 to get the answer.\r\n" );
