Let's assume the total number of residents surveyed is represented by R.

According to the information given, 2/5 (or 2 out of 5 parts) of the respondents said they like spending their vacation at the beach. This means that 2/5 * R = 80.

To find the total number of residents surveyed, we can solve for R in the equation 2/5 * R = 80:

2/5 * R = 80
R = 80 * 5/2
R = 200

Therefore, 200 residents were surveyed.
