Cl in all chlorides has always the same charge.

For Cl, it's position in the periodic table will do nicely.  For Ag, yeah, that is a little tougher, by itself.  But you've been given the compound it forms, so you know it's charge must balance the Cl.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Dear book_luvr;

In this case:  Maybe that Wiki can help you for this time:
                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_chloride

Good Luck!

Chloride is always -1 and since AgCl is neutral Ag must be....?
