Answer 4

Without taking into account the fluctuation differences of the pound sterling, it represents an increase of 469%

Congratulations!

Answer 5

% increase on the original is 369%.

Answer 6

total won - original bet = total winnings

total winnings / original bet = % of winnings

(9.38 - 2) / 2 = 3.69 = 369%.

% of winnings + 1 (100%) = the total amount including the original bet = 469%.

Answer 7

about 370%.

Answer 8

Useless wanker answers above.

9.38/2 = 4.69 or 469%.  That's how you get the answer.
