You have to use the Black Scholes option pricing model. You keep plugging in volatility figures till the theoretical price given by the model equals the traded option price. Else you can use the Solver function in Excel to do it.

Here is a nice paper "Putting Volatility to Work" by Ravi Kant Jain.
It was originally published in April 2001 in ActiveTrader magazine.

It discusses the concepts of volatility, implied volatility, historical volatility and volatility based option strategies.

I recommend you read this very helpful article.
