Juan organizes the stamps in his collection by country and by the decade in which they were issued. The prices he paid for them at a stamp shop were: Brazil and Germany, $7$ cents each, Peru $5$ cents each, and Italy $6$ cents each. (Brazil and Peru are South American countries and Germany and Italy are in Europe.) In his collection, before the '80s, Juan has 5 Brazil stamps from the '50s, 9 from the '60s, 12 Peru stamps from the '50s, and 8 from the '60s. In dollars and cents, how much did his South American stamps issued before the '80s cost him?
