CROWED
PACIFIER (yay)
(75+25+50/10)*9=945
SHEEN
TABLED
(75+2)*10-5=765
PARTIERS
(9-5)*(100-7)=372
UNTHANKED (16s)

The Macquarie doesn't list PARTIER, I'm afraid (presumably preferring PARTYGOER, which it does list). Unfair of it. And your round two answer was a great spot, but I also hope a bit of a typo...

1. CORDITE
2. PACIFIERS
3. 945 = (75 + 25 + 50/10)*9
4. SCHEME (somehow missed MUNCHES; the best answer is HEGUMENS)
5. BULLET (best: ALLUDED)
6. 765 = (75 + 6/6)*10 + 5
7. PRIMATES (best: IMPARTERS)
8. 372 = (6 - 2)*(100 - 7)
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is UNTHANKED]

Thanks Geoff, had the S in my notes - it must have been the excitement!
