Answer:

The apples may have costed 0.50 cents each, and she may have bought 10, which would result in her paying 10 dollars, and receiving 5 dollars in change.

Explanation:

Multiply 10 (the amount she gave to the cashier) by 0.50%, it equals 5, so that's how much she paid, and since she gave a 10 dollar bill, she should get 5 dollars in change.
