(B) Let the total number of votes polled be $x$.The winning candidate received $84 \%$ of the votes,so the losing candidate received $(100 - 84) \% = 16 \%$ of the votes.The majority by which the candidate won is the difference between the votes of the winner and the loser.Majority $= (84 \% - 16 \%) 	ext{ of } x = 68 \% 	ext{ of } x$.Given that the majority is $476$ votes,we have:$\frac{68}{100} 	imes x = 476$Solving for $x$:$x = \frac{476 	imes 100}{68}$$x = 7 	imes 100 = 700$.Therefore,the total number of votes polled is $700$.
