I have a 47" opening in a closet where I want to put bifold doors. The closest size is two 24" bifold doors or 48". Where do I cut the doors to make them fit. Do I cut both or just one 24" door?

Cut 1/2" off both doors. This will match them up, look symmetrical, and open/close properly. If they are hollow core doors there is only about 1" of wood around the outside. You would need to cut I/2" off each door so as not to hit the hollow part.
This video will help. It shows you all you need to do. Hope that helped.

No you cut both doors about 1/4" off each side then they should fit perfectly
You would need to cut a small amount (however much you need to make the door fit ) on the out side of both doors to make it look even on both sides. Also, dont forget to stain or paint (which ever the doors are now) the cut edge of the doors, so you dont have raw wood showing!
