The club starts with 140 members and gains 7 members each month. Over 12 months, the membership increases by 7 * 12 = 84 members, resulting in a final membership of 224. The average membership over the year is (140 + 224) / 2 = 182. The total dues collected is 182 members * $20/month * 12 months = $43,680.
