To calculate the total earnings of the worker before going on vacation, we can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the daily earnings:

    • The worker earns $10 per hour and works 10 hours a day.
    • Daily earnings = $10/hour * 10 hours = $100.
  2. Calculate the total earnings for 10 days:

    • Total earnings for 10 days = Daily earnings * Number of days = $100/day * 10 days = $1,000.

Therefore, the worker earned $1,000 before going on vacation.

Based on the given response options, none of them correctly reflect the worker's total earnings of $1,000. If there's a mistake in the response options and you meant to provide different choices, the calculated total is $1,000.
