Problem 9

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 France, 6 cents each, Peru 4 cents each, and Spain 5 cents each. (Brazil and Peru are South American countries and France and Spain are in Europe). In dollars and cents, how much did his South American stampes issued before the '70s cost him?

$\text{(A)}\ \textdollar 0.40\qquad\text{(B)}\ \textdollar 1.06\qquad\text{(C)}\ \textdollar 1.80\qquad\text{(D)}\ \textdollar 2.38\qquad\text{(E)}\ \textdollar 2.64$
