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?
