Note that the actual inflation is probably more than that. Wikipedia ("United States dollar" article) lists an inflation of 2.16%, as of October 2012.
This can best be solved by converting the percentage to a factor: 1% a year means that prices increase by a factor of 1.01 a year. In 10 years, that would be a factor of 1.0110, or 1.1046. Your dollar loses value by the same factor: 1 future dollar becomes the equivalent of 1 / 1.1046 = 0.905 current dollars. In other words, you lose about 9.5% of your purchasing powers.
