Well the best thing to do would to learn the concept of hexadecimal. Normally, 
we work in base ten math, meaning that our number system has ten symbols(0-9). 
But hexadecimal is base sixteen, so it has sixteen symbols(0-9 and A-F). The 
base ten value of a number in a different base, lets call it b, can be found 
as follows:
 
 take the base ten value(like 9=9, A=10, B=11, ...) of the digit in place 
n(starting out at zero) and multiply it by b^n and add that to your total. A 
simple example is in base ten: obviously 93 is equal to 3*10^0 + 9*10^1. So 
just use this method on a hex number like A9 and you get 9*16^0 + 10*16^1 = 
169. Now finding hex values is left as an excercise to the reader.

(I hope that explanation is clear enough, I'm not very good at explaining 
things.)
