**Juan's Expanded Stamp Collection**

Juan, a stamp collector, organizes his stamps by country and by the decade in which they were issued. The prices he pays for them at a stamp shop are: Brazil and France, $0.07$ each, Peru $0.05$ each, and Spain $0.06$ each. This time, focus on the number of stamps from the 70s and 80s:
- Brazil: 12 in the 70s, 15 in the 80s
- Peru: 6 in the 70s, 12 in the 80s
- France and Spain are not considered for this calculation as they are not South American.

In dollars and cents, how much did Juan's South American stamps from the 70s and 80s cost him?
