I need to work through this step-by-step.

Given information:

Sally is a girl
Sally has 3 brothers
Each brother has 2 sisters

Since Sally is one of the sisters that each brother has, and each brother has 2 sisters total, that means th ere must be exactly 2 sisters in the family.

The 2 sisters are:

Sally
One other sister

Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
