Answer:
The answer is: the Court should block the application of this city ordinance due to discrimination against businesses with topless female dancers.
Explanation:
The Equal Protection Clause (Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment) states the following:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
This is commonly known as Equal Justice Under the Law, which means both men and women have to be treated equally by all laws and ordinances in every government level.
In this specific case the city ordinance only regulates businesses with topless female dancers but it doesn´t regulate businesses with topless male dancers. In order for the city ordinance to comply with the Fourteenth Amendment it must regulate all businesses with topless dancers without regards on whether male or female dancers perform on the shows.

The capital yield is the change in price since you bought the stock for instance, buying the stock at a price of $15 and it is now worth $20.
These two yields will combine to give you the return of 8.2% that you realized.
