Based on the information provided, if 28 students earned a C on the test and that represents 56% of the total number of students, we can calculate the total number of students enrolled in the calculus course.

Let's set up a proportion to solve for the total number of students:

28 students is to 56% as X students is to 100%.

Using cross multiplication:

28 * 100% = X * 56%

Simplifying:

2800% = 56X

Dividing both sides by 56:

50 = X

Therefore, there are 50 students enrolled in the calculus course.
