Problem 10

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.) The average price of his '70s stamps is closest to


$\text{(A)}\ 3.5\text{ cents}\qquad\text{(B)}\ 4\text{ cents}\qquad\text{(C)}\ 4.5\text{ cents}\qquad\text{(D)}\ 5\text{ cents}\qquad\text{(E)}\ 5.5\text{ cents}$
