Using the clue that (CH3)3C+. is responsible for m/e = 57, we will surmise that the compound contains this group.
This is a tertiary cation, which is among the most stable carbocations. That what makes it such an intense peak.
The clue given in the MS is that the molecular ion would be 99 + 15 = 114 (where CH3 = 15). Since the ...
