Mathematics · Percentage
Due to a fault in a voting machine, all invalid votes are incorrectly counted in favor of Candidate B. Candidate B receives a total vote count equal to 5 times the number of invalid votes. Candidate A receives a vote count equal to 8 times the number of invalid votes and wins the election by a margin of 28 votes. If all votes polled are distributed among Candidate A, Candidate B (including the invalid votes), and no other candidates exist, what is the total number of votes polled?
