Sylvia had planned a shopping trip to the United States so she bought US$500 from a bank when the exchange rate was C$1 = US$0.7834. Later, her trip to the US was cancelled, so she returned to the bank to convert the US$500 back into Canadian dollars. At this time, the exchange rate had changed to C$1 = US$0.8137. The bank charged a commission of 0.40% on the last transaction only. Determine how many Canadian dollars Sylvia lost as a result of these transactions.
