How many ticks are caught in the dog's fur? ** First find how many burrs are caught in the dog's fur: 12 burrs * 6 ticks/burr = <<12*6=72>>72 ticks
How many foreign objects total are caught in the dog's fur? ** Then add the number of burrs to find the total number objects: 72 objects + 12 objects = <<72+12=84>>84 objects
