Answer

\( \text{Expected Visitors on Sunday} = 1400 \times \frac{494}{1234} \approx 562 \)

Steps

Step 1 ：\( \text{Total Visitors on Saturday} = 385 + 355 + 494 = 1234 \)

Step 2 ：\( \text{Fiction and Literature Ratio} = \frac{494}{1234} \)

Step 3 ：\( \text{Expected Visitors on Sunday} = 1400 \times \frac{494}{1234} \approx 562 \)
