Characterization and Copolymerization of Organic Compound P

An organic compound PP with molecular formula C9H18O2C_9H_{18}O_2 decolorizes bromine water and also shows positive iodoform test. PP on ozonolysis followed by treatment with H2O2H_2O_2 gives QQ and RR. While compound QQ shows positive iodoform test, compound RR does not give positive iodoform test. QQ and RR on oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) followed by heating give SS and TT, respectively. Both SS and TT show positive iodoform test. Complete copolymerization of 500 moles of QQ and 500 moles of RR gives one mole of a single acyclic copolymer UU. [Given, atomic mass: H=1H = 1, C=12C = 12, O=16O = 16]

Sum of number of oxygen atoms in SS and TT is _____.
