So this year profit is 250% or 2.5 times greater than the profit the shop had last year.

Let x be the profit the shop had last year. To get this years profit, or 80000 $, we need to increase last years profit by 2.5 or:

2.5*x=80000. 

Solve for x:

x=80000/2.5=32000

So last year profit was 32000 $.
