I need help with how to price FX options.
I see this story on the DJ news but I am a bit lost as how to plug the numbers into a pricing formula.

"Volatilities implied by USD/JPY currency options were lower Mon in NY as the dollar continues to trade around Y108.
One-month at-the-money USD/JPY options implied volatilities were at 10.80%/11.30% down from 11.20%/11.55% in Tokyo
and from 11.20%/11.70% in NY Fri. One month EUR/USD implied vols were at 10.10%/10.50% from 10.20%/10.55% in Tokyo
and from 10.50%/10.90% in NY Fri. One month EUR/JPY implied vols were at 9.50%/10.10% from 9.90%/10.60% in Tokyo
and 10.60%/11.0% in NY Fri. One-month quarter delta risk-reversals for USD puts/JPY calls were at 1.40%/2.10% versus
1.65%/2.15% in Tokyo and 1.50%/2.10% in NY Fri.(YUS)"

I don't understand what the "10.80%/11.30%" syntax is all about.
This is what I think I understand:
T= One month
S=K (at the money) 108
Underlying = USD and JPY
Implied Vol USD(10.80%)/JPY(11.30%)
But now what?
Any pointers, url's, guidance would be appreciated. Thank in advance.
