(N/A) The given structure is a substituted cyclohexane ring.
$1$. Identify the parent chain: The ring is a cyclohexane.
$2$. Identify substituents: There are two methyl groups at position $1$ and an ethoxy group $(-OC_2H_5)$ at position $2$.
$3$. $\text{IUPAC}$ naming: Numbering starts from the carbon with the substituents to give the lowest possible locants. Thus,the name is $2-\text{ethoxy}-1,1-\text{dimethylcyclohexane}$.
$4$. Common name: This is an ether where the alkyl groups are an ethyl group and a $2,2-\text{dimethylcyclohexyl}$ group. Thus,the common name is $\text{ethyl } 2,2-\text{dimethylcyclohexyl ether}$.
