(Assuming the question is for 0.92% W/V)
0.92% means 0.92g of NaCl per 100mL
So, you can extrapolate that to 250 mL with a simple conversion factor or ratio to get the answer.
What I did was simply multiply the g/100mL (0.92) by 250mL/100mL (2.5).

So 0.92 x 2.5 is 2.3

There are 2.3g of NaCl in 250mL of 0.92% saline solution.
