Final answer:

After calculating the total number of tomatoes eaten by birds and ruined by bugs, which is 42, we find that Haruto picked 85 tomatoes from his backyard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Haruto had a total of 127 tomatoes in his backyard. The number of tomatoes eaten by birds and ruined by bugs were 19 and 23, respectively. To determine how many tomatoes Haruto was able to pick, we subtract the sum of the eaten and ruined tomatoes from the total number of tomatoes.

First, we add the number of tomatoes eaten by birds and ruined by bugs: 19 + 23 = 42 tomatoes.

Next, we subtract this number from the total to find out how many tomatoes Haruto picked: 127 - 42 = 85 tomatoes.

So, Haruto was able to pick 85 tomatoes from his garden.
