iksar necro receives 20% less exp than non-iksar necro. Thus to compensate, the iksar needs to kill 25% more mobs.
Lets say a kill gives 100 exp to a zero penalty class/race. Non-iksar necro will get 90 experience per kill, and iksar necro will get 72 exp per kill. How much more is 90 than 72? It's 20% more. The non-iksar would get 360 exp in 4 kills, the iksar would get 360 exp in 5 kills. 4 is 20% of 5, and 5 is 25% more than 4.

Well, technically, the XP "penalty" makes you require more XP, not receive less. So the Non-Iksar would need 110 exp while a Cleric (no penalty) would need 100 for equal percentage increase within their level.
A non-Iksar Necro has an experience modifier of 1.1, as it is 10% more required to level than a Cleric (no penalty class). An Iksar is a 1.2, as it is 20% more than a non-penalty race. When these two are combined, they are multiplied, not added. So you have 1.1x1.2 = 1.32. This means it takes 32% more experience as an Iksar Necro than a Human Cleric (no penalty toon) to level.
So an Iksar would require 132 exp to get what a Non-Iksar would get from 110, and a human cleric from 100. This is a 20% increase in the experience necessary from the 110 reference point, but it is 22% more experience required to the model of experience calculation.
