Answer:

52.0833%

Explanation:

The conditional probability formula applies.

P(2|1) = P(2&1)/P(1)

P(2|1) = 0.25/0.48 ≈ 0.520833

About 52.0833% of those who passed the first test also passed the second.

Comment on wording

As a fraction rounded to 4 decimal places, the value would be 0.5208 or 52.08%. This seems to ask for the percentage to be rounded to 4 decimal places, so it is 52.0833%.
