If I have 0:49 minutes in a cell, the number of hours John worked,
and adjacent is $158, the amount John sold; how would I construct a
formula to find out how much John would have sold on an hourly basis?

Let's do it with the numbers you have:
= 158 / 49 * 60
to give $193.47 per hour.
Now, put 158 in A1, 0:49:0 in B1, and this formula in C1:
=A1/B1/24
The reason for /24 rather than *60 is due to how Excel handles times -
as fractions of a 24-hour day.
Hope this helps.

=B1/(A1*24)
where B1 is the amount, A1 the time.
