If you have 48mg plain nic and you want to have 24mg final product then you need to use 5ml of your plain nic for a 10ml bottle.
You will want to fill the remainder of the bottle with PG/VG and your flavoring. If you want to maintain a 50/50 PG/VG mix then you would have to fill the remainder of the bottle with a mix of plain PG/VG. Depending on how strong you want the flavor that would be 1.5 or 2 ml of PG and 1.5ml or 2ml of VG and then 1 or 2ml of all your flavoring additives.
You've got an easy situation there because you want your nicotine at exactly half the concentration it is now. So if you mix equal amounts of your 48mg/mL liquid and the PG, you'll get 24mg/mL in a 75/25 mix.
You're probably going to add around 10% flavor (VERY ballpark guess). That means your flavor would dilute 24mg/mL to around 21mg/mL. You could add 20% flavor and still have over 18mg/mL of nicotine.
So... if you truly need to have your final mix be 24mg/mL, bust out that calculator. If, on the other hand, you aren't too picky and are willing to have liquid that's somewhere between 18mg/mL and 24mg/mL, you can save a lot of effort by just mixing the PG and nicotine base 50/50, then measuring out how much unflavored liquid to flavor you want.
The complicated part is when the mix MUST end up at a certain concentration. If I was making a large batch I'd care about this. For personal use the latter way is much easier. Besides, I'd be willing to bet (real) money that someone couldn't reliably discern a 10% nicotine concentration difference blindfolded.

At the very top of the ejuice me up calculator where you put in the strength of your nic liquid you can input the pg/vg ratio of your nic liquid.
