### Instruction:
Haruto has tomato plants in his backyard. This year the plants grew 127 tomatoes. Birds had eaten 19 of the tomatoes. He picked the rest. If Haruto gave half of his tomatoes to his friend, how many tomatoes does he have left?

### Response:
After the birds ate 19 of the tomatoes Haruto had 127 tomatoes - 19 tomatoes = <<127-19=108>>108 tomatoes.
After giving half of his tomatoes to his friend, Haruto had 108 tomatoes / 2 = <<108/2=54>>54 tomatoes
