On the market, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith sell apples. Mrs. Jones sells her apples per two for 0.50 euro. The apples of Mrs. Smith are a bit smaller; she sells hers per three for 0.50 euro. At a certain moment, when both women have the same amount of apples left, Mrs. Smith is being called away. She asks her neighbor to take care of her goods. To make everything not too complicated, Mrs. Jones puts all apples to one big pile, and starts selling them for one euro per five apples. When Mrs. Smith returns at the end of the day, all apples have been sold. However, when they start dividing the money, there appears to be a shortage of 3.50 euro.

The question: Supposing they divide the amount of money equally, how much does Mrs. Jones lose with this deal?
