Add string into certain lines - sed

Hello all,

I have surely an easy question - but at the moment I do not see the solution.

All what I want is to add the string "/9201" within a file when a line starts with ":47A:".

This is how a file look like:

Code:
Information Tool
 :12:Delimiter
 :3:Space
 :47A:0329
 :3:Space

After the Substitution it should look like:

Code:
Information Tool
 :12:Delimiter
 :3:Space
 :47A:0329/9201
 :3:Space

What I tried so far is:
Code:
sed 's/\(^:47A.*\)/\1\/9201/g' <file>

Tx for your help.
