Puzzle for November 12

Happy Veterans' Day

Exactly three years after the end of World War I, the Tomb of the Unknowns was dedicated at Arlington Cemetery in Virginia. The first unknown American soldier interred in the Memorial had fallen "somewhere on a World War I battlefield" and was eventually joined by representative Unknowns from each of the armed "conflicts" that the US participated in.

According to a recent news article, the Tomb needs repairs which will cost $65,000. If they can't repair the Tomb, it will cost $2.2 million dollars to replace the marble. The sarcophagus-shaped monument is a solid block of marble, weighing 36 tons and topped with a 12-ton cap and resting on a 16-ton base, according to the U.S. Army Military District of Washington.

How much does the marble cost per ton if half the cost of the replacement is the actual marble.
