A village mayor election has two polling stations. The proportion of valid votes received by the two candidates at each polling station is shown in the following table (invalid votes are not counted):
Candidate ACandidate B
First Polling Station$40 \%$$60 \%$
Second Polling Station$55 \%$$45 \%$

Assume the number of valid votes at the first and second polling stations are $x$ and $y$ respectively (where $x > 0 , y > 0$), and the candidate with the higher total votes wins. Based on the above table, select the correct options.
(1) When the total number of valid votes $x + y$ is known, the winner can be determined
(2) When the ratio $x : y$ is less than $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$, the winner can be determined
(3) When $x > y$, the winner can be determined
(4) When Candidate A's valid votes at the first polling station exceed those at the second polling station, the winner can be determined
(5) When Candidate B's valid votes at the second polling station exceed those at the first polling station, the winner can be determined
