Solved another way, let the amount of money Jones has be $10. If Jones gives Alex $5, and Alex had to give $2 to Fiona in order for them to have the same amount of $5, then it means that Alex originally had $2 while Fiona had $3.
The difference between amount of money Jones have and that of Alex is 10-2=$8.

The answer is therefore E.
