To determine how much Ethan will pay for the bicycle during the sale, we would need to know the sale price or the discount being applied to the original price of $164. Without that information, we cannot calculate the specific amount Ethan would pay.

However, based on the options you've provided, $123.00 is the only amount that is less than the original price. If this amount corresponds to a discount, then it could be correct.

If you can provide the percentage of the discount or the specific sale price, I could help calculate it more accurately!

To calculate how much Ethan will pay for the bicycle after a 20% discount, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the amount of the discount**:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 164 \times 0.20 = 32.80
\]

2. **Subtract the discount from the original price**:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 164 - 32.80 = 131.20
\]

It appears that $131.20 is not one of the provided options. If the options you originally listed are correct, please check the details. Otherwise, based on a 20% discount, Ethan would pay **$131.20** for the bicycle.
