Sandy's daughter has a playhouse in the backyard. Sandy plans to cover the exterior wall, which is now 8 feet wide and 10 feet high, and the two rectangular faces of the roof, each measuring 8 feet by 5 feet, with a special siding to resist the elements. The siding is sold in 10-foot by 12-foot sections that cost $\$30.50$ each. Assuming Sandy can cut the siding at home, how many dollars will the cost of the siding Sandy needs to purchase be?
