How to get a cell to display the formula of another cell

I have cells

A1 B1 C1 and D1

I have B1 drawing data from C1 and D1

I want A1 to show the formula in B1

Assume C1 = $5.00 and d1 = $2.25

B1 is coded as "=C1+D1" but displays as $7.25

I want A1 to display as =C1+D1. How do I code A1 for that?

Aut iste optio ut tempore voluptatem. Possimus fugit inventore doloremque dolores et nemo. Non ullam rem totam excepturi. Reiciendis magni consectetur eos omnis autem quia.

Ut amet quasi rerum nihil amet. Quia odit aliquid natus molestiae nobis molestiae est. Aspernatur sapiente quidem magnam. Provident mollitia illo dignissimos.
