The Question itself is erroneous. One should NOT add AgNO3 to the NaOH solution as apart from the AgCl, AgOH and Ag2O shall ALSO precipitate. The 0.287 g ppt, thus shall be a mixture of these three componants, out of which how much is AgCl, one can not find out.
Before adding the AgNO3, therefore, the NaOH should be neutralized with HNO3, and then only the ppt shall be of AgCl from which one can then calculate the amount of NaCl in the sample.
