Answer 1

To calculate the total earnings of the worker before going on vacation:

1. The worker earns $10 per hour.
2. The worker works 10 hours a day.
3. The worker works for 10 days.

Total earnings can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Total earnings} = \text{hourly wage} \times \text{hours per day} \times \text{number of days} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Total earnings} = 10 , \text{(dollars/hour)} \times 10 , \text{(hours/day)} \times 10 , \text{(days)} = 10 \times 10 \times 10 = 1000 , \text{dollars} \]

This can also be expressed as \(10^3\).

Therefore, the answer is:

\(\mathbf{10^3}\)
