The number of hyperconjugation structure depends on the number of α hydrogen to the carbon with positive charge.
In the diagram number of α hydrogen are 3 on carbon 9, 2 on carbon 8 and 1 on carbon 3. So total number of hyperconjugation structure would be 6. The hyperconjugated structure would be as shown in the figure.
