Let's break down the problem:
Let's name the siblings:
Now, the key: Each brother has 2 sisters.
Since Sally is one of the sisters, let's see if there are more:
Suppose there is only one girl (Sally) in the family.
Thus, Sally must have one sister (since the brothers must have 2 sisters). Let's call this other sister "Anna".

Now, each brother has 2 sisters: Sally and Anna.
So, how many sisters does Sally have?
Final Answer:
Sally has 1 sister.
