The cent is a customary unit of measurement still used in some parts of southern Indian states such as Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka despite the usual use of metric units for other instances. One cent is defined as an area of 1100 of an acre (40.5 m2; 435.6 sq ft). It is still used in many news reports[1] and real estate deals.[2]
