Concerned reaction is
CaCO3100gΔCaO56g+CO2
56g of CaO is obtained from 100g of CaCO3
0.56g of CaO is obtained by 10056×0.56=1g of 
CaCO3 we know that,
CaCl2111 g+Na2CO3CaCO3100 g+2NaCl
100g of CaCO3 is obtained by 111g of CaCl2
1g of CaCO3 is obtained by 111100=1.11g of CaCl2
Weight of NaCl = 4.44 - 1.11 = 3.33 g
% age of NaCl=3.334.44×100=75 %
