ROARS
SCIENCE
7*(50+75-6+1)=840 (1 off and went over)
JETTIES
SHANK and was wondering if this might be acceptable variation on double I version - BINDIS
4*(75+25)-1=399 (1 off)
PLACINGS
8/50/25*100-(10-7)=397

I'm afraid there's only one E in round 4, Mike. SCIENCE is a good find, though -- I only saw it after time. The plural of BINDI is listed as BINDIES, so no joy there, but it did make me check and BHINDIS would be OK (BHINDI listed as another name for okra).

1. SOLAR (rightly rejected SORORAL)
2. ESCRIBE
3. 840 = 7*(75 + 50 - 6 + 1) [1 off]
4. OTITIS
5. BANISH
6. 398 = (50 + 4 + 75/25)*7 - 1
7. PELICANS
8. 397 = 8*50 - 10 + 7
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is MAUSOLEUM]
