Ways to tell them apart:

• Exorbitant price refers to something excessively high, think orbit as in beyond reasonable orbit or limits.
• Exuberant price is incorrect as exuberant describes high energy or enthusiasm, which doesn't apply to prices.
• To remember, exorbitant and orbit both suggest going beyond normal limits.
• Keep in mind that prices are not typically described with feelings or emotions, so exuberant is not suitable.
• Use exorbitant when emphasizing that a price is unreasonably high.
