First of all, what computer do you have? Since about mid-2012, you can only add RAM to some of the iMacs... and, assuming that the RAM in your iMac is upgradeable, Apple will charge you about double what you would pay to buy the RAM and install it yourself.
 
If you can see the slots, it's a Do It Yourself. Post what Mac you have and someone will respond to a page with instructions. It's easy.

If you can't see the slots — any 21.5" iMac, for example — you'll have to learn how or get a tech to do it. The 2013-on Mac Pro is a DIY, however.

The Apple Store will only sell and install RAM into specific models and years. To get the price you will need to call and book an appointment.
 
It’s a 2015 IMac has 4 slots

Click on the Apple Logo in the upper left corner... choose About This Mac... click on the Memory tab... click on the Memory Upgrade Instructions in the lower right corner... and check the instructions...

Price the memory at OWC (MacSales.com)
