Using % in ; separated commands

Hi,
I have been using Mathematica for basic stuff so far
and find myself lost on how to acheive the following:

I need to extract the last numerical value of 'a' in
Solve ( without the 'a ->'), so I can use it
elsewhere, without having to type it in. Here is what
I wrote

Solve[Sin[a]==0.4717 * Sin[(Pi/3)-a],a]; Last[a /. %]

The problem is that the value in '%' is not the output
of Solve, but the whatever operation came before that!
Any help on how to extract the last numerical from
solve will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Kaustubh
