Thermodynamic quantities of a two-dimensional Yukawa system, a model for various systems including single-layered dust particles observed in dusty plasmas, are obtained and expressed by simple interpolation formulas. In the domain of weak coupling, the analytical method based on the cluster expansion is applied and, in the domain of intermediate and strong coupling, numerical simulations are performed. Due to reduced dimensionality, the treatment based on the mean field fails at the short range and exact behavior of the binary correlation is to be taken into account even in the case of weak coupling.
