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?

Aperiam earum suscipit odio. Odit non sint eum repellendus omnis commodi dolore.

Ab distinctio sed et dolor neque. Quia magni nobis dicta saepe. Quia sed omnis rem aut. Quo accusamus maxime illum ut dolorem magni. Veritatis velit fuga ad facere praesentium quia.

Quaerat ut aut et incidunt. Facilis doloremque et explicabo consectetur. Veritatis qui est et. Ducimus voluptatem quasi voluptates ducimus.
