A couple of brave tries; my condolences!

1. [invalid -- FANOUTS] (had TOAST otherwise; found PANTOS after time, but should have seen TAUNTS)
2. PETUNIA
3. 962 = 7*(100 + 50) - 8*10 - 8 [1 off] (1 off is the best possible)
4. GABLES
5. CHIMERA (best: CHAIRMEN)
6. 561 = 5*(100 - 3) + 75 + 10 - 9
7. TIRADES
8. 382 = 8*50 - 10 - 2*4
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is UNTENABLE]
