Let Fq be a finite field with q elements, where q is a power of a prime p. A polynomial over Fq is monomially squarefree if all its monomials are squarefree. In this paper, we determine an upper bound on the number of common zeroes of any set of r linearly independent monomially squarefree polynomials of Fq[t1,t2,…,ts] in the affine torus T=(F∗q)s under certain conditions on r, s and the degree of these polynomials. Applying the results, we obtain the generalized Hamming weights of toric codes over hypersimplices and squarefree affine evaluation codes, as defined in [
