    it can be rented for 8 hours

    Explanation:

    From the available amount we are discounting the starting value:

    185 - 85 first three hours 100

    We are left with $100 for the extra hours

    100/19.5 = 5 additional hours

    so the total hours would be the first three plus five additional for a total of eight hours.
