Charges on businesses opening after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter but before the close of the 1980 calendar year are imposed for the remainder of calendar year 1980 in an amount equal to a percentage of the annual charge, which percentage shall be determined by dividing the number of days in a full calendar year into the actual number of days left in the 1980 calendar year at the business' opening.
