How to pass a value from underscore.js to the MVC Controller?

Using underscore.js in my View, I'm trying to pass the variable serialNumberId back to my view. Here's what I tried:

<a href="@Url.Action("process", "wip", new { id = <%= serialNumberId %> })">
    Text
</a>

...but it didn't like that. Red squiggles.

Then I tried:

<a href="@Url.Action("process", "wip")/<%= serialNumberId %>">
    Text
</a>

...but then the code never even reached my process action method in the controller.

Everything works fine if I hardcode a serialNumberId value like this:

<a href="@Url.Action("process", "wip", new { id = 10 })">
    Text
</a>

or like this:

<a href="@Url.Action("process", "wip")/10">
    Text
</a>

So how do I do THAT, but with my serialNumberId variable instead?

Edit: Here's the code where serialNumberId is coming from (it's part of a DataTables function):

...
columns: [
    {
        data: 'serialNumberId', searchable: false, orderable: false,
        render: function (data, type, row, meta) {
            var structure = _.template($('#tmpl-actions').html()),
                html = structure({ serialNumberId: data });

            return html;
        }
    },

Edit 2: Okay, so after some more playing around, I don't think this is an underscore problem. This is a datatables problem. serialNumberId: data above is Null for some reason. When I step through the ASP.Net it's being filled with an int, but by the time it goes through DataTables it's empty.

if serialNumberId is jquery variable you can't use it with razor syntax. but if you want create url with it you can do this `

<script>               
    $("a").click(function(){
         var url='@Url.Action("process","wip")'+serialNumberId;
         window.location.href=url;
    });
</script>
